Bet on NFL - Saints Will Bury Rams
The St. Louis Rams were the pick of many
to win the weakest division in football,
the NFC West, at the start of the year.
Now, halfway through the 2007 NFL betting
season, many are wondering if this squad
will even register a win. Not only have
they lost each of their first eight games
of the year, but they have only managed
to cover the NFL betting spread in just
one of those contests.
St. Louis
Rams +11.5 at New Orleans Saints –11.5
Going on
the road to visit a New Orleans Saints
team that has quickly pieced together
what could be a very good season after
a disastrous 0-4 start, the Rams are not
very likely to get their first victory
this Sunday. Covering the 11.5-point spread
in this game might, however, be within
reach, but St. Louis will have to completely
buy in head coach Scott Linehan’s
mantra during this past bye week that the
season is starting anew.
This will
be the Rams’ fifth road
game of the year. If the other games they
have played away from home are any indication,
the Saints will easily improve to 5-4.
Away from their home dome, the Rams have
failed to register more than seven points
against any foe. They have been outscored
on the road by a total score of 114-19,
and although one of the teams that have
taken advantage of them is known for its
offense (Dallas), the other three (Baltimore,
Seattle and Tampa Bay) are, by any stretch
of the imagination, not.
It appears
that running back Steven Jackson will
be back for this game after suffering
yet another injury against Cleveland in
their last game. Prior to that, the man
who accounted for 2,334 yards from scrimmage
for St. Louis last year had missed four
games with a groin injury. If the offensive
line can protect quarterback Marc Bulger – a
big if – and create the odd hole
for Jackson to tear through, this Rams
offense can still make some big noise.
The injuries that had kept most every big-name
player except Torry Holt off the field
much of the season, are mostly healed.
NFL Free Picks: This game will come down to the confidence of one team over another, big time. The Rams can talk all they want about starting a new season, but the Saints actually did start a new season.four games ago. This week, they will romp to their fifth straight win over an overmatched Rams squad.
